Embodiment
Fig. 1 has schematically illustrated the execution mode of the part of power-supply system 10, and this power-supply system 10 comprises the illustrative embodiments of power-supply controller of electric 35.System 10 is received in the power between voltage input end 11 and the common reference terminal 12, and is provided at output 13 and exports the voltage that returns between 14.Be often referred to the common reference voltage that on terminal 12, forms at the input voltage that receives between terminal 11 and 12.Usually output voltage is adjusted to desired value or desired value in the scope of the value about desired value.For example, described desired value can be five volts (5V), and the scope of value can be positive and negative (5%) 5 percent about in the of five volts.System 10 generally include have primary coil 17, the transformer 16 of secondary coil 18 and ancillary coil 19.Mains switch (for example transistor 27) is used for the value of the switching current 30 of control flows coils 17 and transistor 27, so that regulate the value of output voltage.Current sensing element (for example sense resistor 28) is used to form current sense (CS) signal, this signal representation switch electric current 30.Person of skill in the art will appreciate that other known current sensing element can be used for substitutional resistance device 28.Electric current 30 determines to be provided for the amount of the output current of load, and this load is included in output 13 and returns capacitor 21 and the load 15 that connects between 14.As will further seeing hereinafter, power-supply controller of electric 35 is configured to the value of sensing input voltage and controls peak value by the electric current 30 of mains switch in response to the value of input voltage, therefore, control offers the peak value of the output current of the load that comprises capacitor 21 and load 15.This control of the peak value of electric current 30 also causes providing to output 13 value of the substantial constant of power at the set-point of feedback signal, even the value of this input voltage may change.
Diode 20 is connected in coil 18 with in output 13 with return 14 and help to form output voltages with capacitor 21 usually.Feedback circuit 29 provides feedback (FB) signal of the value of representing output voltage.Feedback circuit 29 can be any optical coupler for example in the various known feedback circuits, and it is provided at the primary and secondary side of transformer 16 and the isolation between the system 10.Use ancillary coil 19 by being used for the boost voltage of operation control 35.Diode 23, capacitor 24 and resistor 22 help the voltage and current from sensed coil 19 to form boost voltage.The ancillary coil circuit that is formed by coil 19, diode 23 and capacitor 24 is known auxiliary winding supply circuit.
Configuration Control Unit 35 returns boost voltage between 38 with what reception was used for operation control 35 at voltage input 37 and voltage.Voltage input 37 generally is connected in capacitor 24 so that receive boost voltage, and returns 38 and generally be connected in common reference terminal 12 so that receive common reference voltage.Controller 35 also disposes from feedback circuit 29 and receives feedback (FB) input 40 of feedback (FB) signals, the driving output 41 of switching drive signal that is configured to be provided for operate transistor 27 and current sense (CS) input 42 that is configured to received current sensing (CS) signal.The sensing of Configuration Control Unit 35 input 43 to be receiving the sensing voltage as sensing signal (SS), and this sensing signal representative is with respect to the value at the input voltage on terminal 11 of the common reference voltage on the terminal 12.Controller 35 also comprises ON-OFF control circuit 45 and current compensation circuit 51.ON-OFF control circuit 45 can be the various known ON-OFF control circuit that is used for switch power controller.For example, circuit 45 can be pwm control circuit, PFM control circuit or hysteresis ON-OFF control circuit.
Fig. 2 is the figure with curve, and these curves are illustrated in some signals that operating period of controller 35 forms in system 10.The value of the increase of signal shown in abscissa express time and ordinate are represented.Curve 66 is illustrated in the specified waveform of the switching drive signal that forms in the output 41.Curve 56 illustrates the rated value of electric current 30, and curve 59 is illustrated in the rated value with respect to the sensing signal (SS) of the common reference voltage on terminal 12 that receives in the input 43.Curve 80 illustrates the rated value of the compensating signal (CSS) that is formed by circuit 51.This specification is with reference to figure 1 and Fig. 2.
In the operating period of controller 35, ON-OFF control circuit 45 make as the switching drive signal of curve 66 shown in the time T 0 effectively (assert) to start transistor 27.This switching drive signal is high during the ON time part in cycle of the switching drive signal shown in curve 66 usually.Start transistor 27 and make electric current 30 flowing through coil 17, transistor 27 and resistor 28.The electric current 30 of flowing through coil 17 attempts to induce electric current 33 with flowing through coil 19.Yet diode 23 stops flowing of electric current 33, and electric current 33 induces voltage at node 32, and this voltage is born with respect to the common reference voltage on terminal 12.Absolute value at the negative voltage on the node 32 is proportional with respect to the value of terminal 12 and the input voltage on terminal 11.This ratio is roughly relevant by the turn ratio between coil 17 and 19. Resistor 25 and 26 resitstance voltage divider form the voltage as the sensing signal (SS) in input 43, as by shown in the curve 59.Sensing signal (SS) is proportional with input voltage, thereby represents this input voltage, but bears with respect to the common reference voltage on terminal 12.
Use the peak value of current compensation circuit 51, so that the maximum of the power that provides by system 10 is provided in response to the value Control current 30 of input voltage.Under the situation that does not have circuit 51, if the value of input voltage increases, the slope of electric current 30 will increase and the peak value of electric current 30 can increase before circuit 45 can stop electric current 30 and above rated peak.Configuration circuit 51 is with the duration in response to the ON time part of the value controlling and driving signal of input voltage, so that in response to the peak value of the value restriction electric current 30 of input voltage.Circuit 51 receives sensing signal (SS) and current sense (CS) signal, and uses sensing signal to regulate or compensate the peak value of the switching current 30 that passes through mains switch in response to the value of input voltage.Exemplary execution mode shown in Figure 1 comprises adder circuit 50, comparator 48 and with reference to generator or reference circuit or with reference to 46.In the configuration of this illustrative embodiments, adder circuit 50 will be sued for peace to form compensating signal (CSS) with the reference voltage that comes self-reference 46 from the sensing signal (SS) of input 43.With the value comparison of the value of compensating signal (CSS) and current sense (CS) signal with invalid (disable) signal in the output that is formed on comparator 48.When the value of current sense (CS) signal becomes value than compensating signal (CSS) when bigger, the output of comparator 48 uprises.As further seeing hereinafter, ON-OFF control circuit 45 these invalid signals of use come the ON time part in the cycle of terminating switch drive signal, disable transistor 27 and termination circuit 30 thus.
Typically, select the value of resistor 25 and 26, make the sensing signal (SS) that in input 43, forms have rated value, and provide expectation or rated peak at the electric current shown in curve 56 30 at the rated value place of input voltage.For example, system 10 can be designed such that between terminal 11 and 12 rated value of the input voltage that receives is about 325 volts (325V) and can have the high value of about 375 volts (375V) and an about hectovolt spy's (100V) low value.The corresponding rated value of sensing signal can be about negative 260 millivolts (260mV), and high value can for negative approximately 300 millivolts (300mV) and low value can for negative approximately 80 millivolts (80mV).When transistor 27 is activated and input voltage during at the rated value place, resistor 25 and 26 set point value are formed on the sensing signal at rated value place, and it is born with respect to common reference voltage, shown in curve 59.Add to the reference voltage of self-reference 46 to form the rated value of compensating signal (CSS) this rated value of sensing signal.Because the value of sensing signal (SS) is born, it is lower than as curve 80 for example in the value of the reference voltage shown in the time T 0 compensating signal (CSS).When the value of sensing signal (CS) reaches the value of compensating signal (CSS), the output of comparator 48 uprises and circuit 45 stop drive signals (as in time T 1 by shown in the curve 66) the ON time part of current cycle, stop electric current 30 thus at the rated peak place, as by curve 56 shown in the time T 1.
When transistor 27 was under an embargo, the energy-sensitive of storage went out at the positive voltage at node 32 places with from the electric current that pass through diode 23 of terminal 12, to give capacitor 24 chargings and formation boost voltage in coil 17.Form the sensing signal that has positive voltage with respect to the value of the common reference voltage on the terminal 12 at the positive voltage at node 32 places, as in time T 1 back by shown in the curve 59.Because circuit 45 has invalid transistor 27, being somebody's turn to do on the occasion of the operation for circuit 45 of compensating signal do not influence.
When transistor 27 is activated and input voltage when being higher than rated value (high value), electric current 30 with bigger speed therefore with steeper slope increase, as by shown in the imaginary curve 57.Because the value of input voltage increases, the absolute value of sensing signal is greater than the value at rated value, therefore, sensing signal is more negative, as by shown in the imaginary curve 61.Therefore, circuit 51 has formed the compensating signal (CSS) with value lower than the rated value of compensating signal (CSS), shown in imaginary curve 81.Because the value of compensating signal reduces, current sense (CS) signal is crossed in the cycle of drive signal the value of the compensating signal in stage early, this drive signal terminates in drive signal ON time part of the drive signal in stage early in the cycle, transistor 27 rated value stage more early at the comparison input voltage in the cycle is under an embargo, shown in imaginary curve 67.Because the slope of electric current 30 is steeper, signal value that form, that be used to begin to stop the reference signal of electric current 30 reduces the rated value that makes electric current 30 thereby peak value that produce be substantially equal to peak current by way of compensation.Under the situation of the value that does not change reference signal in response to input voltage, the steeper slope of electric current 30 will cause this peakedness ratio rated peak bigger.Therefore, the peak response of Control current 30 is in the value of the increase of input voltage and Be Controlled.Because because the value of input voltage is bigger, electric current 30 increases with faster rate, the amount with the power that the rated value of input voltage is carried is identical basically to be transported to the amount of power of output 13.
When transistor 27 is activated and input voltage during less than rated value, electric current 30 increases with speed slowly, therefore also increase with less slope, shown in imaginary curve 58.This forms the absolute value of sensing signal, and it is less than as the value by the rated value place shown in the imaginary curve 60.Because sensing signal is born, the value of the reduction of sensing signal makes the rated value of compensating signal greater than the compensating signal shown in imaginary curve 82.Because the value of compensating signal increases, the value that current sensing signal (CS) is crossed compensating signal in the middle and later periods in cycle of drive signal, this drive signal terminates in the ON time part of the drive signal of middle and later periods in drive signal cycle, and transistor 27 was under an embargo in the stage of the rated value that is being compared to the input voltage shown in imaginary curve 68 in the cycle after more.Because the lower slope of electric current 30, the increase of value that is used to begin to stop the reference signal of electric current 30 makes the consequent peak value of electric current 30 be substantially equal to the rated value of peak current.Under the situation of the value that does not change reference signal in response to input voltage, the littler slope of electric current 30 causes the peakedness ratio rated peak littler.Therefore, configuration circuit 51 is with the peak value in response to the variation by-pass cock electric current of input voltage, for the set-point of feedback signal the peak value of the substantial constant of electric current 30 is provided to output 13.Because electric current 30 increases with lower speed, the amount that is transported to the power of output 13 is substantially equal to the rated value of input voltage.
Fig. 3 has schematically illustrated the illustrative embodiments of the part of ON-OFF control circuit 45.In this illustrative embodiments, error amplifier 62 receiving feedback signals of ON-OFF control circuit 45 and formation error signal (ES), this error signal is represented the difference between the actual value of the desired value of input voltage and input voltage.As known in the art, error amplifier 62 generally comprises and is used to controller 35 formed closed control loops that frequency compensated frequency compensation assembly, for example impedance Z are provided.Comparator 63 compares error signal and circuits sense signal, so that the operation of oxide-semiconductor control transistors 27 in normal operation.Or door 65 receives compensating signal (CSS) and make latch 64 reset with disable transistor 27 and stop electric current 30, to limit the peak value of electric current 30 in response to the value of input voltage.
Clear for what illustrate, explained the operation preferred embodiment of controller 35, yet other execution mode should provide similar operation.Person of skill in the art will appreciate that other realization can be used for circuit 45.For example, error amplifier 62 can be in the outside of controller 35, and the output of error amplifier can substitute the FB signal.In another embodiment of optional execution mode, the current sensing signal that enters circuit 45 can use the ramp signal that is produced by the ramp generator circuit to replace.
Fig. 4 has schematically illustrated the execution mode of power-supply system 70, and this system is the optional execution mode of power-supply system 10, and system 10 is explained in the execution mode of Fig. 1~Fig. 4.System 70 is similar to system 10, except diode 71 and capacitor 72 are used to help to be formed on sensing signal in the input 43.In addition, the controller in system's 70 use power-supply controller of electric 75 alternate figures 1.Controller 75 is similar to controller 35, but controller 75 comprises power switch, and for example power transistor 77, and it is formed ON-OFF control circuit 45 and circuit 51 on same semiconductor chip.In addition, controller 75 comprises current sensing circuit 78, shunt regulator for example, and its value that is used for current sensor 30 is to form current sensing signal.This current sensing element is known for those skilled in the art.
In optional execution mode, and because controller 75 is integrated to comprise mains switch and current sensing circuit 78, using constant negative voltage may be favourable to substitute sensing signal.Constant negative voltage makes controller 75 that the peak value of electric current 30 is controlled to fixing basically value.
Fig. 5 shows on semiconductor chip 86 plane graph of amplification of a part of the execution mode of the semiconductor device that forms or integrated circuit 85.Controller 35 or controller 75 form on chip 86.Chip 86 also can comprise circuit not shown in Figure 5 (in order to simplify accompanying drawing).Controller 35 and device or integrated circuit 85 form on chip by the known semiconductor fabrication of those skilled in the art.
In view of above-mentioned full content, the application discloses a kind of new device and method obviously.Except further feature, also comprise and form power-supply controller of electric to receive the negative sensing voltage of representing input voltage and the peak value that limits the electric current of process mains switch in response to the value of input voltage.Adopt negative voltage to be convenient to adopt the voltage compensation current sensing signal, and the electric current that needn't produce input voltage is to voltage transitions.This provides accuracy by eliminating at least one electric current to voltage conversion circuit.And, having used less assembly and circuit, this has reduced the cost of power-supply controller of electric.Do not adopt input voltage, form negative voltage from the signal of representing input voltage and directly reduced the amount that forms the employed power of circuit of sensing signal.Less assembly has also improved accuracy, even this causes the input voltage variation also the peak-limitation of electric current 30 to be arrived amount value basically.Adopt voltage to form sensing function and improved accuracy to current conversion without voltage.
Although theme of the present invention is described with specific preferred implementation, clearly a lot of replacements and variation are tangible for the technical staff of semiconductor applications.Clear for what describe, word " is connected " and is used in the text, yet it is defined as " to be coupled " with word has identical implication.Therefore, " be connected " and should be interpreted as comprising direct connection and be connected indirectly.Although the illustrative embodiments of using fixed frequency instead to swash power-supply controller of electric is described the present invention, the present invention is applicable to other power configuration.
